Free to be Me by Stasi Eldredge

For this buzz, I’m going to have to say this book is girls only. I’m sorry to guys out there, but this one’s for the gals. The book I will be buzzing about today is called Free to be Me by Stasi Eldredge. On the front of the book is the subtitle “becoming the woman God created you to be.” This book was really helpful, and reading it was kind of like having a heart to heart with other girls who were at the same stage in life as me! I really recommend this book to all girls between the ages 11-14, although I would encourage moms to read this book with your girls, otherwise beforehand, just to make sure it’s okay for your daughter. I will say it does include some mature content that may want to be reviewed by an adult beforehand.

In the book, Stasi relates to her readers through stories from her own life. Something that really stuck out to me was confidence. She teaches you that you are beautiful in God’s eyes, and that He created you for a specific reason. It really gave me a self-esteem boost, and I was reminded that I’m not just another person on this planet, but a person on this planet who was created for a reason.

Stasi is also actively involved with Ransomed Heart Ministries, along with her husband, John. I will post a link to their website below, and I encourage you to check it out. Stasi does mention in it in Free to be Me, however you should still check it out.
